On August 9th, Goodman Acker's Senior Partner
Gerald Acker was featured on Local 4's "Flashpoint," a Sunday morning
weekly community hot topic program hosted by news anchor Devin Scillian.
The debate featured three experts with differing opinions about the Iran
nuclear deal: Representative
Debbie Dingell, who is currently undecided; Mr. Gerald Acker, a pro-Isreal and pro-deal
supporter; and Mr.
Nolan Finley of the Detroit News, who is not in favor of the deal.

Ms. Dingell, a Democrat who represents the 12th district of Michigan, said that she believes this will be the "most
serious vote [she] casts" in all of her career as a politician. She
has met with President Obama, Secretary Kerry, Secretary Menendez, Senator
Liu, APAC, and various Republicans and Democrats in order to gain more
knowledge about the deal. There are two big issues for the Representatives
that are undecided are the following: inspections–making sure Iran
cannot obtain nuclear power; and snapbacks–understanding what the
consequences are if the sanctions are removed. Ms. Dingell is one of 10-15
Democratic congressmen and women who are currently undecided. These Representatives
will ultimately cast the deciding votes on the Iran nuclear agreement.

When asked about his opinion, Acker made it clear that it is possible to
be pro-Israel and pro-deal. As a person who has family in Israel, Acker
hears firsthand about the threats the country is facing. He stated that
the biggest threat the people of Israel face is the threat of nuclear
weapons. By supporting the deal, the U.S. is helping protect Israel. Acker
has spoken with Energy Secretary Mr. Moniz and Under Secretary for Political
Affairs Ms. Sherman about this issue. When asked by Mr. Scillian about
trusting Iran, Acker said he does not trust the country; rather it is
still important to make sure the nuclear weapons are removed and intrusive
inspections become a regular occurrence.

Countering Acker's response, Mr. Finley stated that he does not support
the agreement for various reasons. He believes it would be very difficult
to verify that Iran does not have nuclear weapons and he is concerned
about what the U.S. would do if Iran violates the agreement. Furthermore,
it is predicted that within a year, even with the limitations enforced
by the agreement, Iran would have enough material to create a nuclear
bomb. Overall, he believes there are too many loopholes to the agreement
and the potential negative outcomes outweigh the benefits.

Acker and Ms. Dingell both conceded that Mr. Finley's statement is
correct in that there is no way to know the outcomes of the agreement.
However, Ms. Dingell stated that it is difficult to know the outcomes
of any agreements of this nature. She has met with many members of the
Jewish community who support the agreement and who see it as a pathway
to peace and a way to prevent war. As is apparent, the Iran nuclear deal
will continue to be a controversial topic until Congress votes on it in
the coming weeks.
